story about duties and 2nd, chests with 45 minutes on d w. and what are sports all about with scoring? do we say they were about giving up sports like every weekend on d w. ah ah ah, ah, she responsive beauties papa bavaria. does that sound familiar? no,

i am not in germany. i'm by the mediterranean sea on the most popular holiday island for german tourists. majorca before the pandemic, there was usually a lot going on here around the so called belmont ah, as you can see, it's still very quiet here. so it's low season, like the calm before the storm of all the tourists tourism is starting again here and some are happy about that. others not that much. why is my yorker so popular? that's what i want to find out. my york as attractions include paloma the capital. i have 3 tips for you. i will then take you to the other side of the islands by train to saw you. i also try typical spanish,

the tires top off. ah, back to the beginning of my journey. for lim airport from here, a plane is going to take me straight to my order. make sure you have some extra time for the security chicken berlin. i'm in a hurry right now. the flight is almost fully booked from berlin. we had towards the mediterranean, after 2 and a half hours. we landed palmer, my york hm. the island belongs to the belly arctic islands in 2019, before the pandemic around 40000000 international tourists visited the archipelago . my 1st stop is the see.

it's a mild 17 degrees celsius but unfortunately not as sunny as i'd hoped. tourism in my orca has a long tradition, especially for visitors from germany. they love mother because it's usually warmer here. the island is also easy to get to and relatively inexpensive. so let's take a quick look back how that lay your co become the favorite island of the germans. in the 1950s tourism on majorca was still a pleasure reserved for the leitz. few people could even afford the price of the flight to the island that all changed with the introduction of inexpensive package tours offered by german travel agencies, especially flights hotels and meals all inclusive,

reasonably priced. suddenly tourism became a thing for the masses. in the 1900 sixty's, more than 1000000 tourists came to the island annually. and apart from miner fluctuations, the number kept growing each year. by the end of the ninety's, my worker was a top vacation destination in europe with more than $6000000.00 guests per year. but on the beaches around are no popular among german tourists. the drunken rowdy crowd often bring the uglier sides of math, tourism to light. the vibe is great here. club, cool people, hot men, the as the noisy crowds of tory along the so called ballard mon beach became increasingly synonymous with the image of my orca calls for more restrictions on the partying. massive grew louder

however, most attempts to reign in the excesses were unsuccessful. then, in 2020 there was a complete collapse. as the crew of iris pandemic cleared the streets of the popular vacation island that my organs had to come to terms with just how dependent they had become on tourism. no guests meant no income and with poverty and unemployment on the rise. angry protest, rapid in early 2021, thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on vacationers took to the streets. according to his study by the university of the bally eric islands, nearly a 3rd of the 1100000 residents on the archipelago are at risk of poverty. so now that tourists are allowed to return, the question becomes, will my orca choose mass or class?

oh go on. they feel we need to return to some sort of normalcy they don't, but we have to do it mindfully. if you have to wait on, we can't change the way things are. but we shouldn't return to the old days when everything was over crowded. yeah, kinda the while we like to more thought out and low key tourism you know, ye yes. 7 yo a lot depends on tourism here about 80 percent of the people on my york. i live directly or indirectly from it. how does the regional government see it? i meet rosanna, maria, director general of tourism on the bali arctic islands. senora . what are you out of the name of hannah, mrs. murray,

you there is war and your cree in the middle of europe. who does this effect tourism here on my orca ocoee? majorca says him breakfast that focus from now we are of course affected by the war and i thought of place. all countries are affected, tickled. i mean i lost a thought of and not only the tourism salary, but production and infrastructure to that. i'm all mine. oh, good, lot have up as i've been in the war and human suffering have consequences for all of europe and tourism is no exception. we haven't did that mean they went off of them. okay. in less books am awesome and the next few weeks and months things should really get going again with tourism. are you hoping for as many vacationers as possible? how do you see it? my york on through apple seemed that oh, go morally. when on nothing else asked them as they have they don't. well, just this february, we passed a law that puts a cap on the number of hotels and vacation accommodation on the ballier island scenario. i got them on monday. i did. that means we won't continue to grow north, it won't be possible to build new hotels or holiday apartments, stuff up there like i found that you go him. is it that simple? what will happen to the hotel complexes in latina lint maloof,

all these huge hotels for germans, dutch and brits seamless? if say, i am not not alive eva like when the new laws passed containing certain requirements than businesses offering accommodation half to can clive like alida, that means one of the often we provide public funds to support businesses and meeting these applications. i an improving quality and sustainability that and what our last was sending me them, but it's not that okay, but we are clear about our direction is helpful. don't have food or no. our future does not lie in low quality, offering luge party crowds or irresponsible tourism, or if response how minute? yes, was there i am in 2 knobs on your pregnancy at really an option 40 i with all due respect, majorca has a certain image for you, especially in germany, lots of beer, beaches and parties just that of a yes. i know how i want to change something that's developed over decades, thought chaos you up on vicar say is. and when, if you're right, it's tricky. that element there is. but remember that type of party tourism only

a fact that a small part of the island i promise, before the pandemic hit, we'd already introduced a law to tackle the excessive amount of fun. i mostly aimed at the beaches of palma, which attract most of the german tourists. it is more on the mind. i remember, i have no idea what it glory. it though has worked. i don't know what to do, then the pandemic came not and of course that meant no tourism at all. it's yona so we couldn't really implement that law. i thought i'd often buy a lot. we put a lot of restrictions on the abuse of alcohol. i'm what's aimed at the disruptive activities taking place in those areas. but alas and in this has been asked, can know, can i'm of we don't want to see that on the bali eric island and he'll get along his cell phone is up in the we in the administration are doing everything in our power to change it off by okay, thank you. uh huh. thank you. the next thing i want to do is visit palmer, the capital of the island. my 1st tip for you is the cathedral built

in the 14th century palmer cathedral is one of the most important gothic buildings in all of europe. i am particularly impressed by the stained glass windows especially the magnificent rose window on the east facade. this cathedral east huge numerous artists, half immortalized themselves. here over the centuries, the famous spanish architect anthony go. deep redesigned the choir room at the beginning of the 20th century. i can also recommend this somewhat strenuous climb to the terrace of the cathedral

. from up there you'll have a great view of the whole bay of palmer ah ah! here you can also see how huge the round window looks up close. and look there a cruise ship is back at sea. next we go to the old town of palmer on the square in front of the town hall. there is

a peculiar overgrown structure. the olive tree is set to be at least 500 years old, but no one knows for sure. there is art nouveau, architecture, everywhere in the old town you can explore one, the flee on foot. it's so pleasant here that i don't even realize i'm in the big city. after all. 400000 people live in palmer this place looks quite similar to the plaza, my older madrid. so this is typically spanish. ah, my 3rd tip for a visit to palmer is between the old town and the port. this is the

neighborhood of santa catalina, quite popular for a few years. and by the way, fisherman used to live here in the past. the district has developed into a trendy area in recent years. the mostly smaller, 2 story houses have been renovated here. you'll find shops, restaurants, and can face. it's a great atmosphere. ah, i now i want to go out into nature. and there's a great way to do that. sustainable. and with a nostalgia factor. lou.

this is the train that's gonna take me straight to the other end of the island. as the name suggests, the trend this sawyer takes you to sawyer the string connection that has existed since 1912. it takes about an hour for the historic locomotive to travel the 27 kilometers there and back costs. 32 euros. i find its well worth the price. the gentle rattling of the train is peaceful and the views are beautiful. we had through the mountain range, sadly, from montana in the northwest of my yorker, with mountains up to 1500 meters. the train stops in the middle of the mountains to give us the opportunity to enjoy this view. mm hm. mm hm. huh. ah.

terminus saw you here, i switched to the tram because i want to go to the port this. so you this old tram is in no hurry either 30 minutes later i reach my destination. port of the so you is situated in a large sheltered bay, one of countless base on the islands each has its own character. there are a lot of boats here. the owners are probably still waiting for better weather. so am i bought it the so yet is framed by the time went on the mountains. it's only

this quiet in the off season. unfortunately, it's still too cold for swimming. the water is just 14 degrees celsius. and now i'm getting hungry. a colleague recommended this little place to me. i try some spanish specialties with immune coast, they buy their own garcia as i've ordered some top us, that's typically spanish snacks, cook ets, some potatoes with spicy sauce. these are peppers with salt on top and olives,

and some bread. so let's see. go with i now want to take a closer look at what i saw in the distance of the trainer the cam, montana mountains. with the set up a time when tana is a popular hiking area you can spend days here. a little trip should be enough for me from beany bussey to fort mulch. this mix of unspoiled nature and terraces made for growing oranges. elements in olive trees makes that from one ton a unique. that is why it is also a unesco world heritage site. in addition,

this landscape has been spared from mass tourism so far. ah, this is definitely something different. my archive not only beaches and palm trees . majorca has also mountains ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, for the luke is a popular destination about $600.00 residents ensure their village is wonderfully preserved. if even received awards and recognition of beauty. oh,

nice little village. the hike was worth it. back and palmer, the environmental protection of my yorker also has a lobby. the g o. b group by the outdoor me to look here is a nature conservation group that takes a critical look at the consequences of tourism. i meet medically that armies in this park and palmer, she's the spokes person for the jewel beat, or thick kreuziger law. consequences in your criticize the effects of mass tourism . so as a tourist or am i part of the problem? so bother april, emma. nice umbrella. my name isn't, it's not an individual problem, it's a political problem. and one that has to do with the local economic model. many years ago, it was decided that new york would be a place, a tourism model, and we became nearly dependent on f, l m l effect of the economy. they won't select thought economical case. what can you do against this dependency and answer when the and most apostolic but when we opted for tourism,

we stopped producing the things that we need to live here. the alley men thought out everything from food to other necessities. fresh was then larry, the ocoee, the thing we made ourselves dependent on the import of goods from elsewhere. they may have got the, as there's they fighter thing happened against the backdrop of the climate crisis. floors are they there now transport routes and means of transportation must be changed when it kill dashboard. and we need to start producing something else. city that galaxies lead will when appropriate, prosperity must be generated from the production of our own, essential goods, elaborate and not only from tourism, but as our st. louis that, you know, so anybody in comalla will say, if there are a lot of people here who earn a lot of money from to a song on, do you have to fight these people or how do you see it took a little chart, compress a hint that okamuro o it, i might just think that if there are many interests in the tourism industry kick, denise that there is always the question of him generates this wealth and who benefits from west lock. it is not the people here. the local population got out of my head. we see for example, that many hotels around my,

into national investment funds. so got, i mean, somebody aimed to create more wealth. a few people mean of. meanwhile, the quality of life here is decreasing id by. we see this in the rising levels of poverty and unemployment that day in a few of students and the quality of work in the industry and related status and last thing, though toilet take notice or will indicate us of prosperity in a society, in decline, seem the 1st gay, so unless they be honest that it, it, nevertheless, every summer, more and more tourists visiting the island. nice duties that gave you an abbey. so we need to find a balance basic that most i can leave it out. is this a program where exactly is the problem is there are many people in europe and around the world who think my yorker is a beautiful island. it would like to visit and get the island is quite big. there is enough space for every one, right? it's possible those. no, yes, but my house isn't a problem. is that tourism has outgrown the island because you couldn't say that meal kristen offering from taurus stick obesity, especially in the summer model. this leads to an inbound and it's which cannot be

sustained, socially, or environmentally co. lucky. come in the mail. you my, your cathy slow down a bit, go on a diet. i think they said that when it comes to tourism. yes. yeah. good. good. i thank you. thank you. that brings me back to where i started to the so called paloma beach areas are called by the audio and spanish, but with tourists flocking from germany. this became the balaban. as you can see, i am here and those read thoughts are by the audio. so seaside resort services and the translation german is actually by law mom. i can't believe it. this stretch of beach is a red rack for all my your kids who have had enough mass tourism the numerous bars and clubs on is arina beach in the high season. it's just one boozy party mile.

although most of the big clubs like mega park were closed during the pandemic, they want to reopen this year, especially for german party tourists. the mention that came to the restaurant is also in german hands. since 1988 glinda vega has seen many tourists come and go some tim balaban. you are also part of the parliament. that's the thorn in the side of the regional government. they don't like it that much unless they would rather have more quality and less quantity. do you sometimes have the feeling that you're not really wanted here? that's the ide advil to me and the silky speech a vincent does and it comes to seen as i am. so i think it's a matter of perspective dable among tanya. i because the bala mon,

i can also be of high quality, was in philosophy. i some maybe it applies to the people who are completely out of control and misbehaving. hallmark this benita glenn, those people might not be wanted here on average sin about even conceit of it. but to what extent can you understand that you might be part of the problem? i mean, you surf elk, all their life acts. lots of music people dance. can you control that kenzie doesn't strict watched or nora dizzy in andy same yansa disease. this 5 i as they're looking at at the wrong way to well, allow me solely selling cultural holidays is wishful thinking. on my i, off i said little in new york is big enough for everyone. as a, as is canada, you'll wilma, the yoga tourists, can stay in thinker on i, the cyclists can come in winter. oh, but there has to be space for us to them. i knew you near my still mom. i was even a millionaire. might want to go out for $12.00 or more beers. this good i miss of

this. it's just a part of be in european are being a westerner, theo, owner, and best part of having a good quality of life. and the tool is a need to leave in flooding, so you don't have to overdo it, vanishing one time. then thanks for the interview and all the best. no, no thanks. at the end of my trip, i returned to santa catalina, the trendy district of palma. there is a lot going on here in the evenings with how as tourism changed on my archive,

after the pandemic isn't going to be class instead of mass. so lecture trips or party tours. well, in any case, most of the people on my, arca will be very happy that tourism, that is so important for this island picks up again at all. and i don't think this was my last time here or yes. ah ah ah ah with
